Eligibility: Atypical Development
How do you use the atypical development category in determining eligibility for
premature babies?

Early Sensory Experiences Affect Brain Development
18
![Page 19: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tactile System
• Fetus responds to touch 8 to 10 weeks after conception
• First develops in the parts of the body used for exploration
• Most mature sensory system at birth
19
![Page 20: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tactile System
• Avoidance reactions predominate in utero
• Approach behaviors predominate in the full term newborn
• Tactile contact associated with greater emotional stability
• Association of tactile information with other senses occurs later in infancy.
20
![Page 21: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Vestibular System
• Detects movement, gravity, head position
• One of the first systems to become functional
• Fetus receives strong vestibular input the first 2 trimesters
21
![Page 22: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Taste and Smell
Importance in Newborn– Recognition of mother– Development of attachment– Stimulates sucking and facilitates feeding
The fetus practices swallowing in utero
Experience primarily related to feeding
Clear taste preferences in newborns
May show preferences/avoidances to some fragrances
22
![Page 23: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Auditory
• Responds to sound by the 2nd trimester
• Full term neonate able to respond selectively to a variety of sounds.
• Shortly after birth, full term infants show preference for their mother’s voice.
• Excessive noise levels documented in NICU
23
![Page 24: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Visual System
• Processing of visual information develops later in the fetus
• Vision is the only system not dependent on external stimulation for development in utero.
• By 32 weeks infants attracted to reddish objects
• Full term neonates have sophisticated visual processing abilities
24
![Page 25: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Visual System
Preterm infants have a higher incidence of• Myopia (blurred distance vision)• Strabismus (abnormal alignment of one or both eyes)• Visual- perceptual and fine motor delays
Exposure to direct light may negatively effect the development of vision and other neurosensory systems
25
![Page 26: Prematurity and Early Intervention: Prevalence, Issues, and Trends](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5493617bb47959474d8b4828/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is this infant experiencing?
Think about ways this infant’s world now differs from his life in the womb.

How have you used and infant’s motor, behavioral, and physiological signs of
stability and stress to guide intervention?
